My knockout pool has 90 players.  2 have not made picksyest but the Standings page says there are 90 survivors and 90 picks made...

Since your league is configured with 2 lives the survivor count is accurate. 

Regarding pick count, it includes picks by players who you subsequently marked as inactive, so its really only a week 1 phenomenon. What we can do is tweak that logic to only check active players.

Thank you for your help - I know you must be busy today!

On another note, I've had players who lost in an early game and buy another entry to use for the late games this week, giving them multiple wntries going forward.  Ours is a 2 srrike league and we can pick any game that hasn't started yet.  Is this ok to buy another entry and have limited options to pick for this week?  Is it unfair to anyone?

I think its a totally reasonable thing to allow, and more than fair because they are adding to the pot while having fewer teams to choose from. Basically its a slight advantage to those already in your league who won so there should be no reason for anyone to object, IMO.
